Movie Reviews of South Park - The Complete Tenth Season

Movie Review: Feast meets famine
Summary: 3 Stars

By the time season ten of "South Park" rolled around, it'd become something of an institution, and while it still had something of an edge, it was also starting to really show it's age.

There's a lot to like in season 10, including "Return of Chef", "Tsst", "Stanley's Cup" and of course "Make Love Not Warcraft", an episode I appreciate much more now that I'm spending an inordinate amount of free time playing around with my level 65 night elf hunter.

But, man, there's some serious stinkbombs here, like "Smug Alert", "Manbearpig" and the two part "Go Dog Go" episodes. These episodes are preachy, not funny and just not very good.

The set contains all the episodes and the usual nearly-complete lack of special features. Seriously, Comedy Central, what's up with that? It's like back in the late 1990's when "interactive menus" were listed as a special feature.

So, yeah, while there's a few classics here, there's not that much that's worth bothering with. If you're a completist, or if you can find the discs at a really good price, go for it. Otherwise, neh. Why bother?

Summary of South Park - The Complete Tenth Season

All fourteen monumental episodes from South Park's tenth season are now available in this exclusive three-disc collector's set. Join the boys as they witness the death of their beloved Chef, band together to defeat a virtual villain who is out to destroy the world and wrestle with the disturbing consequences of seeing the Prophet of the Muslim people on a popular cartoon. For them, it's all part of growing up in South Park.
For those South Park fans who have wondered if their beloved animated series would lose its satirical edge after a decade on the air, the Complete Tenth Season boxed set provides a resounding negative. Creators Matt Park and Trey Stone come out swinging with the season opener, "The Return of Chef," which addresses both the media frenzy churned up over the headline-grabbing "Trapped in the Closet" episode from the previous season, as well as the departure of Isaac Hayes, who voiced the well-loved Chef (and netted the series its highest ratings for a debut episode in years). Not content to leave one religion alone, the show tackles the 2006 riots over the depiction of Mohammed in Dutch newspapers (and delivers a much-deserved zing to Family Guy) in the two-part "Cartoon Wars" (the revelation of Family Guy's real writers is among the funniest notions ever penned for South Park) and intelligent design in "Go God Go" (Mrs. Garrison is up in arms over being forced to teach evolution until the arrival of Richard Dawkins changes her mind). Also in the show's firing line are such sacred cows as Oprah Winfrey (Towelie pens a faux memoir a la A Million Little Pieces in "A Million Little Fibers"), Al Gore (who attempts to drum up interest in his hunt for the mythical "ManBearPig"), environmentalists (who create a new form of pollution with their hybrids in "Smug Alert!"), the popular online game World of Warcraft ("Make Love, Not Warcraft," which earned the series an Emmy nomination) and George W. Bush (who tangles with Kyle over 9/11 in "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce"). Of course, South Park wouldn't be South Park without moments of jaw-dropping bad taste, and viewers are treated to not one but two jokes about the death of Steve Irwin (including his appearance at a Halloween party thrown by Satan in the critically reviled "Hell on Earth 2006), children with terminal diseases, teacher-student sexual relations, and a whole host of bodily functions and absurdly graphic violence (the latter is provided by a trio of serial killers in "Hell on Earth 2006"). Supplemental features on the three-disc set are limited to a brief introductory commentary track on each of the episodes by Parker and Stone; while short, they underscore the duo's irreverence and highlight some of the trials they underwent to produce the season (in particular, the network's concern over "Cartoon Wars"). --Paul Gaita
